Fetal Stem Cell : What is that for cell ?


To know more about fetal stem cell we have  to first find out what stem cells are. Because  fetal stem cell is one of these four types of stem cells.

Stem cell can typically be broken into four categories :
.Umbiical Stem Cells : it is taken from umbilical cords.
.Embryonic stem cells : It is taken from human embryos.
.Adult stem cells, stem cells wich are taken from adult tissue.
.Fetal Stem cells, it is taken from aborted fetal tissue.

Stem cells are unprogrammed cells in the human body that can be written as  shape shifters. These cells can and have the ability to change to other types of cells.

It is now the center of very new field of science which called regenerative medicine.

Stem cells can be just about anything, from bone, muscle, cartilage to
dozens more other types which have the potential to treat many desease. Desease like Alzheimers, Diabetes, Parkinson, and even Cancer can be treated by stem cells. They also can be used to regenerate organs. And so that organ transplants and related surgeries can be reduced significanly.

“Stem cells are like little kids who, when they grow up, can enter a variety of professions,” Dr. Marc Hedrick  of the UCLA School of Medicine says. “A child might become a fireman, a doctor or a plumber, depending on the influences in their life — or environment. In the same way,  these stem cells can become many tissues  by making certain changes in their environment.”

Fetal Stem cells have the potential to be a greater  kind of cells that adult cells do.

It is very interesting fact. Although there are many who against these methode of healing. Many believe that fetal stem cells are to be part of healing treatment in the near future.
